Siheyuan, I want to lie down but I become a tool

The girl was very obedient this time, pushing the cart and leading the way. Zhang Xingwang wanted to lend a hand, but seeing her reaction like a frightened cat, she waved her hands and said she could do it herself, as if he was stealing her job...

"Brother, why are you so nice to me?"

Looking at the girl who was still pushing the cart in front without turning her head, Zhang Xingwang heard her crying voice and thought that she might be worried about his departure.

Children's ideas are always more unconventional, and this girl is no exception. She seems to be extremely insecure and has been protecting herself tightly since the first time they met.

Asking this is like opening her heart to me. But it's also good, just like my sister-in-law, this kind of stubborn character is stubborn, she can say this means she recognizes me from the bottom of her heart, if this kind of girl becomes my wife, I can't beat her away, but I don't know which beast she will marry, I have to check her out when the time comes...

"There's no special reason. I just like you."

Zhang Xingwang started pushing the cart as he spoke. The stubborn girl didn't refuse this time. She just turned her head and stared at him seriously. After a long while, she uttered:

"How can someone help someone just because they like him? That's a fool. There must be some purpose behind it."

"You are right, but those who seek rewards are just ordinary people. I am different. I just judge people by appearance. Who made me like you?"

Following the guidance of the stubborn sister, it took me more than half an hour to reach a remote house. I thought this girl was amazing. Her daily workload was greater than when I used to climb stairs and deliver food.

Looking at the girl sweating profusely, and feeling that she has been setting up the stall like this day after day and gritting her teeth to make a living, suddenly someone reaches out to you for no purpose, and whoever it is is confused.

This place can only be said to be habitable. There are two rooms in total with a big kang inside. The old lady came out early after hearing the sound. After seeing Zhang Xingwang, she smiled and said something unknown. She kept asking him to come in first. She watched Zhang Xingwang looking around and said openly that everyone who lives here is like this.

It seems that only a mother and daughter live in this room. The room is tidy and you can tell at a glance how diligent they are. The kang is covered with a sheet that has been washed a little bit, and in the corner there is a thin quilt and a sheepskin coat neatly folded. It is obviously the one that she gave away, and it seems that her stubborn sister is using it as a quilt.

There wasn't even a basic stool in the house. There were only two wooden stakes beside the kang. The only table was a small low table on the kang. There was no electric light. When a dim oil lamp was lit, the ashes flew everywhere. It was obvious that it had not been used for a long time.

They say they live in the city, but the conditions are not as good as those in the village. Apart from a pile of sweet potatoes that they treasure, they are all very poor. It's just that this girl is naturally beautiful. If she was not so beautiful, her living standard would have been distorted long ago...

The old lady was getting ready for dinner again, saying that they usually ate after closing the stall, and bluntly stated that anything not sold out would be their dinner.

Watching the old lady washing sweet potatoes, Zhang Xingwang shuddered and said quickly that he was not hungry at all. He asked her to make two portions.

After hearing this, the stubborn sister looked at the old aunt with some blame, and then poured a glass of water for Zhang Xingwang in a bowl.

The old aunt didn't seem too surprised by Zhang Xingwang's arrival. She just said something like, intentionally or unintentionally, that her stubborn sister was still young and didn't understand anything.

After Zhang Xingwang looked at the mother and daughter's residence, he completely understood why his sister asked him that time. Looking at his sister who was uneasy and embarrassed, Zhang Xingwang smiled and said:

"I can't call her brother for nothing. I will take care of her. I came here today just to ask her to do something else. I think it's good for her to go to school. Why would she bother to compete with sweet potatoes at her age? If she doesn't go to school, she will be blind. At least she can learn to read."

The mother and daughter seemed very surprised, and the stubborn girl replied eagerly:

"Can I not go? Mom can't do it alone."

The old lady seemed relieved and asked tentatively:

"What about Juanzi's tuition?"

"I'll pay for the tuition. I can just mail it to her later."

"Brother, are you not coming back?"

Zhang Xingwang thought that he would come more often after getting married, so he replied casually:

"That can't happen. I'll come back to see you when I'm free."

Zhang Xingwang stayed for a while and then prepared to go to the black market. His stubborn sister twisted her fingers and sent him to the entrance of the alley.

After Zhang Xingwang left, the stubborn sister returned home in despair. After hesitating for a long time, she asked the old aunt:

"Mom, what does judging a person by appearance mean? Does it mean you should marry someone who looks good?"

The old lady paused while cleaning the house and replied casually:

"Your brother told you? How would I know what he meant? When you have time, ask Uncle Liu next door. He has attended literacy classes. You have to go to school anyway, so you can just ask your teacher later."

Zhang Xingwang came to the black market with ease. Curly-haired brother was smoking at the door. He looked unhappy and exuded a decadent vibe.

After seeing Zhang Xingwang, he was stunned for a moment, tilted his head and blinked, rushed up to give him a hug, and opened his mouth:

"My dear brother, I've been waiting for you to come, but you came at a very unfortunate time. Dadong has been waiting for you for a few days, and you came just after I went back yesterday. It seems that we are destined to be brothers. I have prepared everything this time, just tell me what you want!"

Zhang Xingwang looked at the curly-haired guy who was laughing as if he had picked up money, and said helplessly:

"Do you have a job here? I'd like to buy one."

This sentence silenced Curly-haired brother. He picked up the cigarette butt that had fallen on the ground, and reluctantly restored his smile. He replied faintly:

"Brother, you know that things have been going badly lately, and I don't have a job suitable for you. But even though Dadong is gone, he still misses you, and I left some good stuff for you. I'll take you to see it..."

"That's fine. Tell me what kind of work you have first, and then we can go look for something later."

Curly-haired brother is getting a little angry now. When Brother Dong is around, this brother seems to have a grudge against money when buying things. Why does he always act out of the ordinary when it comes to him? The eldest brother even said that his smile is more sincere than Brother Dong’s now…

"Brother, to be honest, I have two working brothers, but they are all women who do not match your temperament at all..."

"That's consistent. Just tell me in detail. I'm also doing someone a favor."
